Rights group spotlighting murder of women in Turkey faces legal threat
A lawsuit threatens to silence Turkey's main voice on violence against women, the We Will Stop Femicides Platform.
Turkey’s most prominent women’s rights group is facing a legal fight for survival after prosecutors demanded its closure for acting “against morality” and undermining the “family structure.”
The We Will Stop Femicides Platform has battled for 12 years to highlight high levels of violence against women in Turkey and what it says is official ambivalence to the murder of women.
